Renato Babalu vs. Jason Lambert @ UFC 68

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...2965&zoneid=14

thoughts?

ALSO I think MMAWEEKLY ahs got there rumours wrong for this card and can see a few of the fights being moved to a UFN or next UFC PPV

APART from the randy-sylvia, franklin-macdonald and hughes-lytle fights.

one from...swick-okami, fitch-luigi and babalu-lambert will get moved imo cos they are all main card level fights.

Im also looking foward too

hamill-heath and kampmann-mcFederies as well as the return of ausserio

FULL RUMOURED CARD:

randy-sylvia
franklin-macdonald
hughes-lytle
babalu-lambert
swick-okami
fitch-luigi
hamill-heath
kampmann-mcFederies
ausserio VS tba

I have to think Babalu wins and does so impressively.

Lambert is a relatively good fighter but Babalu is a top tier LHW and should be primed for his return. With the prospect of potential big fights with Rampage and Tito looming, Babalu has plenty of motivation to recapture his old form (read: non-Liddell).

Lambert is still talented, this is MMA and Babalu may have lost his fire after his last loss to Chuck but I see a 2nd round TKO by Babalu after a fairly good first round.

the only way lambert could have win is submission but against babalu i see him getting tko'd or subbed himself

this wont make a decision imo

I can see Fitch/Luigi getting the bump, simply because the WW division is sacked right now and a lot of their 2nd tier fighters aren't making the main card - Burkman, Fitch, Alves.

Fitch/Luigi is only a main card level fight in an org like WEC or KOTC.

Babalu wins no doubt. He will be in line to fight Tito and/or Rampage.

He is better than what people think, and he is better than what we saw against Chuck.
